The wine region of Meknès
Morocco's leading wine terroir at the foot of the Middle Atlas (60% of national production), at 550 m altitude, continental climate moderated by the mountains, 240 days of sunshine. Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are the signature reds with ripe cassis, blackberry, plum, garrigue, pepper and balsamic notes, ripe tannins and solar body. Traditional Carignan and Cinsault for fruity reds and gris. AOG Guerrouane and Beni M'Tir, Morocco's first AOC Coteaux de l'Atlas.
The word of the wine: Phylloxera
Aphid that came from America and ravaged European vineyards at the end of the 19th century. It lives on the roots of the vine, from which it pumps the sap. The only vines capable of resisting it had to be imported from the United States, and then grafted onto their root system the wood of traditional French grape varieties. Today, grafted vines are always planted.
